Customize the Send To menu

By Ed Bott

The Send To menu is a particularly useful feature in File Explorer. You can right-click any file or folder, choose Send To, and copy or move those objects to a folder of your choosing. You can also open compatible files by sending them to an application shortcut.

Unfortunately, the default list of Send To destinations is sketchy to say the least. But if you create a shortcut, you can customize that list to your heart's content. The secret is to open the Run box (Windows key + R), type the command shell:sendto, and then press Enter. That opens the folder filled with everything you see on the Send To list.
